>>>Is there a function that will return how many decimal places a numberic field has? Something like LEN() for a character field. I know I can get it with AFIELDS but I only want to check one field and this returns all the fields then I need to find what the field number is in the array. Seems like a pain for something this simple.

I need to add the MAX function for whole numbers

ln_dec = MAX(LEN(TRIM(PADR(MOD(field, 1), 21))) - 2, 0)
